Jaguars at Cosford

That wouldn’t be your your name amongst those written on the undercarriage door would it, you know the one I mean.

Incidentally how many have survived intact at Cosford, are they being kept in case of a bit of trouble with the Typhoons, these things happen.

My name is not on it, though my surname is on the side, I did play a part in the design of the scheme, seeing that I show the guy who did the basis of the design how to use the Software it was designed on (he is my brother). I also did the orginal CG profile that the scheme was designed on, and put forward some ideas that were used in the final scheme (though they ended up on another part of the airframe). if you want to see a large number of operational Jaguars in the future, you will have to go to India. The aircraft can ground run and will most likely be doing it at the next Cosford Air Show (though don’t quote me on that).

edit….Off topic….1000th post up, hadn’t noticed….and about something I was involved in. Off Topic

Spotty Jag was for the disbandment last year

cheers, great article. Would have loved to of seen the brake chute and rough feild demonstrations!

Are any of these Jaguar’s in running condtion, if so can we hope for a ground run at the airshow ?

Also do Cosford still have the Jet Provest’s for ground training ?

Ground Instructional Aircraft (GIA) only I’m afraid:(

Yes they are still MoD owned. The Spotty Jag (XX119) and the Pink one are used as aircraft handling/marshalling trainers to avoid too much damage to the paintwork. Pity to see the nose art on the pink one has gone, but not surprised, it was very un-PC. Spotty Jag scheme was designed by a guy who was born in Bishops Stortford AKA Canopener Al.

The spotty painted one is amazing, was that done for a tiger meet or something? They all look really well used aircraft, the cockpit view shows how dated they are.
Really pretty planes though, the chisel nose has aged well.

I believe they are still owned by the RAFor MOD and used for ground training aids.
